Subject:
IAM&AW/WYMAN GORDON Update
Your elected contract
negotiating team, Keith Stanberry, Ector Ruiz, Jason Calhoun, Able Nuncio,
Local Lodge 15 President Byron Williams and your chief negotiators, Grand Lodge
Representatives Brothers Dave Porter and Tony Blevins met for negotiations again
today with Wyman Gordon.
Today your
committee addressed the forecasted layoffs of our members and negotiated a
reprieve from this action. Layoffs of any of our members should be of the
greatest importance and your committee addressed this and the parties
successfully reached an agreement to forego this action. The parties exchanged
proposals and counter proposals and have ended the day on positive note. We
will reconvene tomorrow morning and continue discussions.
We are asking
for our members support throughout these negotiations and also encourage you to
make contact with your sub-committeemen with any issues or questions regarding
negotiations. Please remember, if we have not addressed the issues here, they
are rumors and if you have issues you wish to be relayed to your committee,
please contact your sub-committeeman. For information, please check your Local Lodge
No.15 web site for future updates. Additionally, updates will be forthcoming as
negotiations move forward, please sign up with your email account to follow
automatic updates as they become available.
Your
Negotiating Committee
